I have a order of 20 Berghia coming and want to make sure my skunk cleaner will leave them alone.
The only fish I have are 2 sapphire damsel 2 frosted clowns and a one spot rabbit fish.
I have a small 3.8gallon aio coming to put some rubble in and get them loaded with aptasia so I can raise some Berghia
Any suggestions would be helpful
 
Just about anything will eat berghia eggs so if you plan to raise them the key is having a tank without crabs/fish/pods/etc. Otherwise you may get some to hatch and grow to adults, but it will significantly reduce chances.

Other thing of note that i was shocked by is how much food they eat. I only got 7 after having spent 3 months growing aptasia in a 10g. These guys just mow through the berghia i am not able to grow it as fast as they eat it.

As for the berghia themselves i am not sure is a skunk cleaner will bother them or not sorry
